Argument of the Month: Can divorced and remarried Catholics come back to the Sacraments without the Church changing her teaching?

The Argument of the Month (AOTM) club in St. Paul, Minnesota, sponsored a debate on October 13th between Dr. Todd Salzman of the Creighton University Theology Department (for the affirmative) and Michael Matt of Remnant Magazine (for the negative).

In the video below, AOTM Director Kent Wuchterl and Michael Matt discuss the debate (before the fact), highlighting their concern that the Church may be facing a very real threat of schism, given the German bishops who have signaled that they will go ahead with their "pastoral provisions" for returning the divorced and re-married to communion regardless of what the Synod does this month.
